This 1984 built Short 360 was put on the British register as G-BLIL and first flew under test registration G-14-3647 on May 24 that year. It was leased to Wright Airlines as N635KC for a few month before operated by ASA Atlantic Southeast Airlines between November 1984 and June 1988. It showed up on the Australian register in February 1990, shortly before this picture was taken. It was apparently converted to a C-23B+ Sherpa becoming msn SH3417 in 1997 with the military serial "93-1333" assigned, before being operated by the US Forest Service till around 2013 as N177Z.

Air Express DC-4s VH-EDA and EDB were sold in 1980 to Basler in the US as N5581S and N5581T respectively. However in a painting mix-up at Essendon the registrations were painted on the wrong aircraft. The error was corrected after arrival Oshkosh. EDA and EDB differed in detail. The former was a DC-4 and had a small porthole window behind the cockpit on the port side. EDB, a C-54, did not have this window. Mike Madden photo.
